Hmm. I've seen these charts often but I have to say I've never met anyone get paid less than eighty. Myself and most of my peers at UBC start at about 90-110k for Google, Fb, Amazon and whatnot (only speaking for Vancouver).

My dad also worked in software back in the day in Toronto and he was also rarely less than 100k.

Keep in mind that these figures are in American dollars. Also, the companies you mention are the elite of this industry, and pay accordingly. Other places pay less.
